I recently came across pictures online of someone I used to know...apparently the wedding had a Tarantino movies theme, and there were (fake) bloody body parts as part of the decor, along with the cake being in a body bag. The groom is a homicide investigator. Would you say that was rude? Personally, I found it super-creepy.

I went to a wedding and reception once and the reception was very laid back. After the first "cutting of the cake" the bride and groom went off to mingle and a member of their church decided to be helpful and finish cutting the cake for the couple.....he was one of the city's pathologists. I nearly choked on my soda when I saw him.

My father- who did not attend- still wonders if the pathologist used a knife from work or not.

Best wedding I've ever attended had a children's party theme. We were instructed to wear jeans, and there was a ball pit, a bouncy castle (all that had adult weight limits so we could play), hot dogs, cotton candy, ice cream, etc. The invites etc. had a circus theme.

Okay, that would rock! I must keep that in mind if I ever have occasion to get married again.

I'm not sure that the two things are quite equivalent.

I'd prefer my cake not to look like a dismembered body.

They are not equivalent, but I'd laugh at a body bag cake anyway. It is just my kind of sense of humor.

Well, it's not what I would have wanted for my wedding, or my children's wedding for that matter. But from the photos, everyone looks like they are having a blast. So for that group of people, looks like it was the perfect day.

The thing I noticed is that it appears they paid close attention to detail. They made sure there was adequate food for the guests, appropriate seating, since it was outdoors they appeared to have some areas that provided relief from the elements. That's what a good hostess/host does for their wedding guests so they seemed to hit the mark on that.

While the decorations were not those usually found in traditional bridal stores...they did decorate the place. That was not some thrown together last minute wedding/reception. They thought it through and did it up to their own personal tastes.
